Chasing the Divine in the Holy Land

Full Product Description

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to trace the footsteps of Jesus in the Holy Land -- to swim in the Sea of Galilee, to walk the Via Dolorosa, to kneel on Golgotha? Or maybe you've already visited the Holy Land and you know what a life-changing experience it is. If so, then this book is for you. When Ruth Everhart was given the opportunity to travel to the Holy Land as one of several ministers taking part in a documentary about pilgrimage, she jumped at the opportunity. Little did she know just how demanding -- yet, ultimately, rewarding -- her transformation from Presbyterian minister, wife, and mom to pilgrim would be. Candid, down-to-earth, and delightful, Ruth recounts her experiences in Chasing the Divine in the Holy Land, inviting readers to journey alongside her on an unforgettable Holy Land pilgrimage.

Chasing the Divine in the Holy Land by Ruth Everhart was published by Eerdmans Publishing Company in January 2013 and is our 50461st best seller. The ISBN for Chasing the Divine in the Holy Land is 9780802869074.

Reviews of Chasing the Divine in the Holy Land

Sharing the Journey

Reviewed by Julie Woods

Having journeyed to Israel/Palestine several times, both as pilgrim and leader I approached this book hoping to recognise the sights and experiences - seeking some common ground. I was not disappointed!
Ruth went with hopes and fears, and in her journalling has identified and tussled with the range of emotions that can be generated in this place we call Holy. Some places I recognised immediately others were clearly different to the parts I had been. Which only served to feed my desire to go again!
I particularly love her honesty about struggling with how to reconcile the "holiness" and the "ordinariness" the "commercial" and the "faithful" - and like her I was astonished how that place moved me to tears on more than one occasion. usually when I least expected it.
If you have been, or you are thinking about going, or you know you are going... it's definitely worth the read. Chasing the Divine sums it up exactly. Blessings on your journey.
